Costuming vs. Cosplay **What's the difference for you between costuming and cosplay?**Lately I've seen "cosplay" used almost exclusively to refer to any kind of costuming (re-creations, hall costuming, steampunk, etc.), but I see them as different. I'm curious what other costumers think.DISCUSS! :) Current Mood:  curious (Comment on this) |

I scanned some of the slides I took at the second convention I ever attended. Equicon 75/Filmcon 3. It was held at the LAX Marriott Easter weekend in 1976. Many of the slides of costumes came out to dark to save so I guess I will have to try some other way to digitize them in the future.http://www.flickr.com/photos/56928511@N00/sets/72157627411400372/I hope everyone enjoys them.Barney (Comment on this) |

Heavy Ink comics controversy If anyone out there buys their comics from Heavy Ink, an online comics retailer, I offer that you might want to reconsider, as the president, Travis Corcoran, seems to think shooting members of Congress isn't such a bad idea (to quote, "1 down, 534 to go," in reference to the January 8 shooting in Tucson, Arizona that left 6 people dead and critically injured U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords, the intended target of the attack, being the first of the 535 members of Congress).Needless to say there's been some significant buzz, including Paul Cornell asking readers not to buy his books from the site, and Nick Spencer specifically requesting that Corcoran stop stocking his books.There's also been a lot of hemming and hawing from Corcoran - in a long, rambling diatribe he outlines his political views, and although at one point he says, "No, I do not endorse shooting at politicians in 2011," he seems to think an armed revolution is just over the horizon (i.e., shooting at politicians sometime in the future would be acceptable); on his Twitter account he says, "I don't incite the killing of any politicians; that would be illegal. I merely think that it's morally legitimate."Although I hope I included enough links to pertinent information so that someone could make up their own mind about this, I'm posting this because I think this guy is a tremendous douchebag that deserves all the bad karma he can get. Is he entitled to his opinion? Of course, and he's equally entitled to spread it all over the internet if he so desires. I don't think, however, that hateful rhetoric like this should be rewarded, so I'm equally free to spread that opinion all over the internet myself. Current Mood: concerned (Comment on this) |

Help me fandom kenobi, you're my only hope... I unexpectedly find myself available Sunday, and I was hoping (probably futilely) to catch the tail end of Comicon with a friend. Previous years this wouldn't have been much of a problem, but unfortunately with the current resale set-up it's pretty much impossible (at least to those without a ridiculously high speed internet connection) to snag one. As a last resort I thought I'd check with my San Diego fandom peeps - is there anyway to swing 2 Sunday passes with less hassle? Current Mood:  hopeful (Comment on this) |

Paging Elf I'm trying to get in touch with Elf. Mundane name = Michelle. I don't know her last name, but I do know that she's a friend of Karen Anderson. I do not have her number on file, and thus I can't return the page. Heard she was asking about me @ ConChord. If anyone can help, please do. Drop me a private message or email me. (Comment on this) |

A community for Minotaurs The response to Stuart's untimely passing has been amazing and heartwarming and overwhelming. It's obvious he touched many lives and we all have a lot of good memories of him to carry with us.I've started a community where we can share stories and pictures and have a place to gather to remember him. Everyone, please feel free to join and post to  minotaursfriend, and pass the word on to anyone else you think would be appropriate. (Comment on this) |

Sad news It is with the heaviest of hearts that I post this today. My very good friend, and I know good friend of many of you, Stuart Carroll ( minotaurs) passed away this morning, June 14. During the night he suffered a massive heart attack, and despite tremendous efforts to save him, he passed away at 6:00 a.m. He had good friends by his side until the end, and his family is gathering to decide on the next steps.I met Stuart when I ran Gaylaxicon in 2004 in San Diego, and together we not only started San Diego Queer Sci-Fi, but became good friends. Many of us gathered on a weekly basis to play board games, and he helped out with the new local San Diego convention, Conjecture. He also brought me into slash fandom, and when we attended CON.TXT together last year I was stunned by how both famous and loved he was by that community.I cannot express how sad I am right now. He was a truly wonderful, intelligent, witty spirit that will be sadly and sorely missed by those who knew him. (1 Comment |Comment on this) |

Majel Barrett has passed away In case you missed it elsewhere, Majel Barrett has passed away at 76. It looks like she did complete her recording for the new film, which in and of itself was a wonderful homage to her and her link to Star Trek's history.She will be missed. (Comment on this) |
